* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass - When his berserkbutton is pressed, NO ONE can stand in his way. He becomes hyper competent, is able to scare off haddock and even appears to have gained super strength and lifts a man twice his size.


Added DiffLines:

*** Just checked, he put on the Hearing Aid for the Moon Mission to be able to precisely pick up radio transmissions for the mission. Basically it was important enough that he felt the need to wear one.

**IIRC he is aware of his hearing difficulty, he just denies its effect on him (by his standards complete deafness would be 'slightly' lowered hearing in one ear) due to either pride or well... [[CloudCuckoolander being eccentric]]. Either way, he considered it just big enough hindrance for the Moon mission to get it fixed. After that he probably discarded the hearing aid since it was no longer "necessary".

** Of course considering his constant smoking/boozing/fighting, he gets away with ''far'' more than the average {{Badbutt}}.

* FatherNeptune

to:
